Historians and the court

So the Supreme court overturned the Texas sodomy law. It reminded me that I had to meant to look up George Chauncey's "friend of the court brief" about the history of sodomy. It's really worth a read, very interesting history and it also includes opinions from Linda Kerber and Nancy Cott.

*ETA* (As I'm reading it again) You have got to love a legal document that quotes Foucault!
